Information Publications

The main task is to implement and coordinate the teaching of transferable skills at the UEF Doctoral School. I am a responsible teacher or a teacher in eight courses:

Orientation for doctoral researchers
Research project management
Research supervision
Job searching tools for doctoral researchers
Career planning portfolio for doctoral researchers
Business for doctoral researchers
Seminar for doctoral researchers and their supervisors
Research ethics

My other duties include e.g.

peer mentoring activities of the Doctoral School: training and organisation of peer mentors
maintenance of the Kamu pages of the Doctoral School sand the Heimo pages related to grants
implementation of a survey for doctoral researchers every two years and analysis of the results
development tasks related to the doctoral training of the YUFE Alliance
general development activities related to doctoral education
tasks of a research integrity adviser
